Avatar

An avatar is the name given to a virtual image of a person, that is often associated with a person’s profile on a given web address, usually concerning social media websites. Such avatars are highly useful for creating a sense of individuality associated with each user’s profile and to make it more identifiable among the thousands of other profiles existing on the same address. Avatars could either be in the form of icons, or an image was chosen by the user which may or may not feature their own self.
